Eat | Raw Chocolate and Blueberry Cheesecake

It was recently TBND’s birthday in March, the very month when we were doing our best to cut out sugar. I like to make him a birthday cake each year to celebrate, however that wasn’t really going to help our Sugar Free March.

Having both developed a wee obsession for raw cakes over the past year, I decided that the time had come to purchase a food processor and try making my very first raw cheesecake to celebrate his birthday.

The hardest part of the raw cheesecake wasn’t making it. No that was actually really easy. The hardest part, was choosing which flavour to make! Eventually I settled on a Raw Chocolate and Blueberry Cheesecake, I mean how can you go wrong with that flavour combo right?

Ingredients purchased. Food processor delivered by Amazon. I was good to go. The whole process took around 45 minutes, and it was super easy. There’s none of that ‘will the cake rise?’ concern that you get with regular baking. You just follow the instructions, blending everything together in the food processor, freezing layers as you go, and boom it’s that simple.

If you’ve not purchased a food processor yet, but you’re thinking about it, I would advise buying the best one your money will allow you to. The one I bought was decent enough, but had I splashed a little more cash, and gone for something more powerful, I think the result would have been better.

Nonetheless, we sliced into the cheesecake on TBND’s birthday, and there were no complaints from either of us. Word of advice, remove the cheesecake from the freezer a couple of hours in advance of eating it. I put mine in the fridge, but it was still pretty solid when it came to devouring it, so we didn’t get the proper creamy cheesecake experience, thankfully there’s loads left over so we’ll give it another shot! ;o)
